About Hungry Zaks

Hungry Zaks nails the classic Australian fish-and-chip run with clean frying, crackling batter, and hefty flake. No greasy oil slicks here. Regulars count on proper potato cakes—steamed fluffy on the inside—and burgers stacked on old-school soft buns rather than brioche. Counter staff easily swap items in bundled packs, while trays frequently arrive with a cheeky handful of bonus chips alongside specialty cheese and garlic cakes.

  • Crispy Batter & Fresh Flake: Thick fillets of flake and crisp potato cakes fried clean without oiliness or soggy batter.
  • Old-School Takeaway Burgers: Generously built burgers served on classic soft white buns rather than sweet brioche.
  • Flexible Packs & Seasoned Cakes: Staff gladly swap pack items and offer specialty garlic and cheese seasoned cakes.

Why Choose Hungry Zaks

Fresh crispy batter, classic soft-bun burgers, and friendly neighborhood hospitality in Frankston.

  • Consistently Crisp, Non-Oily Batter

    Hungry Zaks consistently fries fish, flake, and potato cakes in clean oil, delivering golden crispy batter that avoids oiliness or sogginess.

    The chips were perfectly crispy and potato cake and flake batter was not oily or soggy.

  • Flexible Value Pack Substitutions

    The team readily customizes combo meals, accommodating item substitutions within value packs to match diner preferences.

    She was really flexible with us swapping out an item in a Value Pack and just overall very nice to talk to.

  • Classic Burgers on Soft Bakery Buns

    Burgers are crafted in the classic fish-and-chip shop tradition, utilizing traditional soft bakery buns rather than sweet brioche.

    Soft buns (not brioche), great beef pattie and all other ingredients were tasty without being soggy!

  • Signature Cheese & Garlic Potato Cakes

    Beyond standard potato cakes, Hungry Zaks offers a signature seasoned garlic and cheese variation that stands out across the Mornington Peninsula.

    I also grabbed the famous cheese & garlic potato cakes.
